ANOTHER THEORY ABOUT THE BOMBS
Inc discovery OF the bombs in Lingg's cell re-
called TO the minds OF some OF the people about
the JAIL In Chicago circumstance which may aid
In accounting for their presence. Last spring
Parsons asked the Jaler for pair OF dumb bells,
as lack or exercise was In juring his health Jail
FoH however, thought That Parsons might hurt
| one OF the deputies with so formidable a'muscle-
producer, and consequently refused the permiS-
sion, but allowed him 10 have two pieces OF iron
rod OF some Kind or iron gas pipe. IL is reinem-
bered that each was about - or IA inches In
Iehgth ana about = OF an inch In diameter. Each
OF these being cut in two in the middle would
| make four pieces OF about the same size
| as each OF the bombs. The probability
seems 70 be str.ng that Parsons two
| pieces OF exercise irOn-pipe have been con-
verted into the four bombs found in Linggs cell.
This theory or where The outer materials OF the
| bombs came from is rendered still NOR pausible
by the fact that when Parsons cell was examined
yesterday not vestlge OG old dumb-bells could be
| found, but what was found ii their place. 10 the
great surprise and chagrin OF the OfiCialS OF the
| Jail, was pair OF dunb-bells OF irreproachable
/ form and style. The officials have been pulling
their heads unavailingiy 10 discover how so bulky
/ and heavy substance Junb-bell could get
into the Interior OF the Jail without their cogni-
| Zance.
ESGEL'S ATTEMPTS TO KILL HIMSELF
Anarchist EngeI was visited yesterday by
| DIR. L. j. Gray, assistant county physician, TO
| whom the anarchist made partial confession OF
| his attempted suicide In addition to swallowing
the IaUdanun, Engel said he took sixteen morphine
| pills Friday nisht. DIR. Gray was am ,zed at this
Intelligence, but understood why they proved in
eHectual when Ensci said he had tue pills ever
| sllice he was Brought to the Jail. That was eX-
| actly a year and a half ago Yesterday and long
/ since then the pills ceased to have any active
power. EnGei said he swallowed the Sixteer. pills
at gulp Late Friday night and walked his cell all
| day saturday, expecting at any moment 10 fail
down. When IL grew toward night and the NOR
phlne had 10 effect he resolved 10 take the lauda-
| mum After his friends LETT in the evening ne
poured out SIX or SeXen teaSpOOnfuls Of the poison
and tossed IL of. Dr. Gray thinks the stun Was
purchased III some cheap drug store, and that in
consequence IL WAS aduIterdLed ana very poor

quality half the quantity Engel swallowed would
have been enough TO Kill MN. TIE Old IMAM was
made drOwsy by the poison, that was all, and MS
loud breathing Was what led 10 the discovery. AT
nIsI ne SAD ne hid been drinking whisky, but
elhste glance at the pupils OF the mans eyes was
enough To convince DR. Gray he had swallowed
opium ia some form. Engel would not tell now he
had got the lauianun or how long le had had IL.
WHAT SPIES SAYS ABOUT THE BOMBS.

NJ. Salter, the following regarding the finding OF
the bombs in Linggs cell: at is useless for me
